The Art of Grant Writing:How to Give Them What They're Really Looking For

With Tara Williamson

You spend countless hours on your latest sculpture/short story/symphony. You know there is a grant deadline looming but you would rather be creating art. That’s okay, you’ll slap something together for the grant at the last minute.

If we spent half the amount of time crafting a grant application as we do on the blueprints for our newest art project, we would have more money and time toactually make our art. So, how do we do that?

Join Tara Williamson to find out!
